Raydons media server keep losing laptop network connection
Hi
I have been using the excellent media server by Raydon for sometime. but i only use it occasionaly. each time ( could be weeks apart) i cant access the hdr by the shortcut on my desktop or by typing in the ip address. I re load the media bundle and all is well. Then i lose it again. it seems to me that hdr is updating itself or similar and wiping Raydons stuff. Anyone else expeienced this? or have any ideas what it is and how to cure it many thanks in advance |

Two possible reasons spring to mind.
1The Foxsat is set to DHCP so the IP address is changed due to your router issuing a different address. Check the IP address that your box reports in the menus. - Solution use a fixed ip address outside the pool of addresses your router is set to allow. 1 Mongoose has crashed (an occasional problem). in this case a reboot of the foxsat will restore comms or if you have telnet installed then open a cmd window telnet ipaddress service start mongoose. http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showp...63&postcount=4 |

When you are able to access the web interface the settings page does report version 4.0.7?

I think Repassac has hit on the answer. When you boot the box does it say Custom Fw 4.0.7 on the front display. If not you most likely haven't got the version for the latest 1.0.20 firmware.
http://www.avforums.com/forums/frees...-part-2-a.html This release includes setting the Foxsat clock and several flags to indicate the type of boot which daily processes examine to determine if they should run or not. |

If this is so - then after flashing the firmware there are updates you need to apply - go to package management - update from internet and apply all updates.
This release includes setting the Foxsat clock and several flags to indicate the type of boot which daily processes examine to determine if they should run or not. all working fine now ( at the moment) the hdr is det to dhcp with the ip at 192.168.1.5 is it worth changing that to a manual config.? Thanks |

What I recommend is making an address reservation on the router - doing this you will always get the same address, have up to date name servers and no address conflicts. If you have a number of hosts plus guests then a quick look at the DHCP settings tells you all - trying to remember how you manually set up fixed addresses two years back is a pain.
ok not sure how to do that but i have had a look at the settings on the router page and have set the box to static ip i have a screen shot i could attach ( if i knew how) |

You must download and use the latest 4.0.7 version. Get rid of the old version you are using.
